New Economics Foundation

Director of Finance and Operations

Welcome

Thanks for your interest in this crucial role at the New Economics Foundation. Our goal is to build the case for far reaching economic change and to develop policy and practical solutions to drive this change.

I joined the New Economic Foundation as Chief Executive in November last year. This is a great organisation with a proud 30 year history of leading edge thinking on economics and practical action on the ground. The current economic and political context has opened up a genuine debate about whether our economy works for the majority of people and how we change it. This creates an exciting opportunity for the New Economics Foundation to lead this debate and offer up real solutions that can drive change at both the national level and in our communities.

If successful you will be joining a new leadership team at an incredibly important time. You will be working for:

An organisation that works in partnership with real agents of change, locally, nationally and internationally, from trade unions and community campaign groups to public officials and international organizations

An organisation where staff build an international reputation for leading thinking and campaigns

An organisation that is at the centre of public argument and debate, from press and broadcast, to digital campaigns and people’s front rooms

An organisation that is seen to tackle the issues that matter now - from climate change to mass migration, new ways of caring to building a more participatory public realm

The Director of Finance and Operations will lead a small and highly skilled team charged with maximizing the resources of the charity and leading on the delivery of robust and stretching business plans.

I look forward to meeting with shortlisted candidates and thank you for your interest in NEF.
